Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My CBT approach centers on helping clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that may be contributing to distress. I use practical, skills-based interventions to foster insight, increase coping strategies, and promote long-term change.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
With DBT, I emphasize teaching clients concrete skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. I integrate these tools into sessions to help clients manage intense emotions and build a more balanced and effective approach to daily challenges.
Couples Counseling
In couples therapy, I draw on systemic frameworks to help partners understand their interaction patterns, improve communication, and rebuild trust. I focus on creating a collaborative environment where each partner feels heard and supported while working toward shared goals.
EMDR
In my EMDR work, I guide clients through structured reprocessing to help reduce the emotional intensity of trauma and grief-related memories. I emphasize safety, stabilization, and pacing, ensuring clients feel supported as they move toward more adaptive beliefs and emotional relief.
Grief Therapy
With a decade of experience supporting clients through loss, my approach to grief therapy focuses on creating a compassionate, grounded space where clients can process their emotions at their own pace. I help clients explore the meaning of their loss, strengthen coping skills, and integrate their experience in a way that supports healing and resilience.
